500GB USB flash drive
We have noticed that many people found this blog by searching for 500GB USB flash drives. We wish to point out once and for all that there is no such thing. If you bought a flash drive advertised as this capacity we can tell you (without any doubt) that it is fake. There are no genuine USB flash drives above 64GB at present – and most sold as 16GB or over are fake capacity. We strongly advise people not to buy flash drives until they have fully reseached the subject!! You can learn a lot by looking at our blogs and manufacturers websites.

Hey rocoso,
Are you saying there is such a thing as a 500 USB flash drive? Or have you misunderstood what we meant?
There is such a thing as a portable 500GB hard drive you can connect to a computer with a USB cable – but that is not what we are talking about when we say USB flash drive.
What we mean here is a little thing the size of a cigarette lighter that you can attach to a lanyard or keyring, or just stick in your pocket. By the way – when this post was written there were no USB flash drives of capacities higher than 64GB. This is no longer true – there are now several models of 128GB USB flash drive and one 256GB USB flash drive – though no doubt other models will appear soon.

Just got in from a 14day vacation at China. One of the only things electronic bought was USB 2.0 SONY(know is not), 500g (as advertised) micro vault. With the form of a flash drive (8gb) I already have. Tried it in my Mac Pro, IBM, HP and properties indicate a 536Gb memory. I will be trying over the week end, but already archived and tested 8gb 0g photo and video, which was capable of accessing. Sunday or earlier will provide final test (500gb of data at 10gb segments)
BTW, bought it for US $20 lowering from $100.
